if i remember correctly he looked awful in the maia fight and leben got popped for drugs after the fight and he has been far from an impressive win anymore

Again, at the time he beat them they were impressive names to add to his resume. Maia had only ever lost to arguable 1 and 2 in the division in Silva and Marquardt at the time, and regardless of how Munoz looked, he won the fight. Leben was 4-1 in his last 5 and had just beaten Wandy. Leben had a ton of momentum going into that fight. Munoz beat him. What happened afterwards is irrelevant. '

I could discredit anyone by claiming that the guys they beat arent impressive because they havent done anything since. By that logic I could conceivably say "who did Liddell ever beat? Tito and Randy? They're both retired and sucked in their last few fights"

LoL regressing to name calling? My IQ is fine you are the one who's making no sense. Diaz and Overeem both fought people that really had no business fighting, BJ is a 155er who can't even make weight and Brock either wasn't recovered from his near fatal infection or wasn't on the level of legit heavyweights like Velasquez and JDS.

Shields is legit but barely beat a game Kampmann before he dropped to his natural 170. The best fighters in other promotions aren't as good as the UFC and Shield showed it losing 2 in a row to GSP and then The Juggernaut. Then he beats Akiayama, another "top" fighter from another promotion who was nothing more then a speed bump for contenders.

Hendo doesn't really count because he was with the UFC and Pride first. He's only beat Shogun and doesn't have a chance against the real MW and LHW champs.

Anyone can come in and win 1 but who's won anything worth a belt or even the ability to fight for the belt. The only reason Diaz is getting it is because GSP hates him and really wants to beat his ***.

LOL.....I'm giving you undeniable facts yet I'm the one who isn't making sense? Gotcha.......

Its more his fans who laud him as the next coming of Christ and his own claims that the greatest fighter of all time is somehow "ducking" him that makes me dislike him. He is a decent fighter but is massively overrated by people online.

Has Weidman ever fought anyone with the kind of footwork that Rockhold could bring?

We know that Rockhold has done well against a high level grappler with Jacare. Granted Weidman and Jacare are different kinds of grapplers, Rockhold has shown he has a solid knowledge in offense and defense of both aspects.

We have never seen Weidman fight anyone with a highly developed striking game.
